In the first year the population of a town decreased by 5% due to the Corona virus first wave. In the next year it decreased again by 5% due to the second wave and in the third year it increased by 5%. At the end of the third year the population was 9,47,625. What was the population at the beginning of the first year?

10,00,000

Let initial population of town = x

According to question ,

x × \(\frac{95}{100}\) × \(\frac{95}{100}\) × \(\frac{105}{100}\) = 947625

x × \(\frac{19}{20}\) × \(\frac{19}{20}\) × \(\frac{21}{20}\) = 947625

x = 10,00,000
